If you're not totally averse to third party lenses then you might want to read about this Tamron - the review suggests it's very close optically to the 100-400 Canon, although you're losing some light at the long end.  Tamron have upped their game recently.

I should say, I have no personal experience of this lens, though I did have the Canon on loan to shoot an air show.  I'm glad I brought my tripod..as you know, it's quite a heavy beast, but I did get some good shots as a result.  I still wanted even more reach though..and that was on a crop sensor at the time (550D).
